Where Have You Gone With Your Sidecar Rig ???

FlyingMonkeys · 2024-10-15T17:38:16Z

This past Saturday we decided to take the Euro-Wing out for a drive to the Washington coast, to visit Bennett's Fish Shack in Westport, Washington. Short route getting there was 85 miles, longer route getting home was 110 miles. 'Twas a good drive, a pretty good halibut and cod lunch, and the weather was great. I need to try harder to drive slower, and working on a fix for the Boss Monkey to get into and out of the sidecar seat easier. Changed the engine oil and filter One Last Time on this rig, here in the USA, before shipping it to Germany early next year. All other mechanical things are done, and with the singular exception of implementing a fix for getting the Boss Monkey into and out of the sidecar seat easier, this rig is ready to ship.

Today was just a 10 mile jaunt up to school for what is called “business night”. Considering that the last time I was farther than in town, I was having a pretty serious health emergency, it went really well and there were no issues or flashback moments. Next ride longer that 20 minutes will be a memorial service for a friend’s mother at the end of August.

Today I took the rig to dental appointment before heading to school. Then I took about 1.5 miles of gravel road to avoid the 30 minute construction area. Unfortunately, the rig made a LOT of objections to going along the gravel. Between the washboard and soft surface, keeping any speed was a challenge. Guess i'll be back in the car until construction is done which they predict to be November.
